Sixth Form Prospectus 2024-25

Marylebone Boys’ School 2 2 Message from the Head of Sixth Form Thank you for considering MBS Sixth Form for the next two years of your study journey. Sixth Form can be a challenging time and it is important to make the right choice. For many, MBS Sixth Form is the right choice. We are at an exciting time in our development, gaining places at Oxford and Cambridge universities for some of our top pupils, as well as introducing a BTEC Level 3 for those who prefer learning through coursework. We are a relatively small sixth form, which means we can get to know you personally, and can therefore offer tailored support and advice, both with university applications or apprenticeships, should those be the routes you choose to go down. Come and visit the Sixth Form! You’ll have the opportunity to meet our staff and students, explore our surroundings and facilities, and get a real sense of what we are all about. We look forward to working with you to achieve your educational goals and hope you will choose to apply! All you need is a positive reference and the required grades, and you are all set!
